Hear the News
saraband
Hear the news most ev'ry morning!
Major plot stillborn has sounded
shaky nation's jagged warning.
Men brood their loss and lie in jail
until their sponsors pay their bail.
And then they lie upon the stand,
O, hear the news throughout the land.
Hear the news most ev'ry morning!
Some major plot has been derailed;
Hear the bells ring tangled warning,
nervous nation's demise is dawning.
D.C. big shots tease with yawning.
The guilty go free; justice, veiled
for mountains of fraud left unscaled.
